Gauntlet Matchmaking after 5 wins

Wildcoyote28 said:

I always end up with 14-15 wins in champs - if I start off 10-0 or 7-3 I'll end up with 15 wins.  If they don't match me with god squads all of a sudden my players fumble or by zones bust for a one play TD.  Right now I'm 12-2 and just from my last 3 games by Rb and QB fumbled 4 times vs 1 in the first 10 games. It's EA upsetting you to buy players making you think it's because you're close but just missing a piece. I'm NMS and because of DDA I'll never spend a penny on a pack. If I was spending my money and then this was still happening I'd lose my mind. Gaunlet I never get past 5 wins lol.

This I was just 9-0 and Amari Cooper burns Deion for 2 70 yard TDs on just go Routes smh. I'm not talking contested catches, straight 2-3 yards behind and no animation for the pick. Wasn't pressing. Shading outside on the first and over the top on the second. Didn't matter. Instasheds for his Dline. Diggs drops the ball wide open in the middle on a green throw that could of been a go ahead TD with less than 30 seconds on the clock. I just wasn't gonna win it was already decided.  Oh well on to the next one

I don't touch Gauntlet because it's people playing cheap with a god squad. Even with Champs, I always end it being 10-10. ALWAYS. I guess I'm just MID.

Unfortunately that’s not how it works… in squads you are only bringing one side of the ball into the game depending on if you choose offensive or defensive captain. You can still get the +2/+3 if both squad mates have the same theme team. On the flip side if you have a full 50/50 but your squadmate does not, you lose those boosts since you’re only getting the +25 from the players you are bringing in.

This is not true.   I play with a friend who also has 50/50 top 15 theme team and we both get +4 speed.

youd be a pro to go 15 wins with a nms team lol also I force myself to play on conservative because the games I lose are bs fumbles by the RB

Ty for this I’ve never heard of DDA until this thread but it makes sense now. This game does it often. From my chemed up players feeling slow and running in the mud to a low overall coming into my playoff and the team feeling like that are all 99s on a 86 overall team. it is very stupid bc it makes getting good cards pointless.

The fumbles are annoying af. I just lost to the number 57 guy on PSN. Bc my players kept fumbling from regular tackles!

Sure, no problem.

"it is very stupid bc it makes getting good cards pointless" <-- this is the point. it's to keep making you either spend money or get you to start thinking about spending money. it's very predatory but they tried disguising it as something that's beneficial to the consumer.

This couldn't be more incorrect. I'm ranked 170 in squads.

"real true" LMAOOO

dont listen to this guy, you can absolutely get +4 speed if yall both got 50/50 of the same chem.

I know this is right but when I see my players speed I’m only getting +2 with a 50/50 Ohio state and another 50/50 Ohio state on defense. Does the HC also need Ohio state too?
